Pius Schwizer prize money

£67,015 won from 8 paid rounds and 4 wins between 2018 and 2022, ranked 58 of 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Prize money won rather than income. A money prize in this sport is awarded to the owner of the horse, so the figure above is what Pius Schwizer's rounds were worth rather than what Pius Schwizer was paid for riding them. There is no salary anywhere in show jumping to set beside it.

Pius Schwizer prize money by season

In time order, not sorted

3 seasons

A show jumping career does not climb the way a contract does. It moves with whichever horse is sound and in form, so a season with a top horse out of work looks like a collapse and is not one. About A Dream alone accounts for 57.6% of everything Pius Schwizer has won.

Every figure is converted to sterling so the rounds can be added up: show jumping pays in the currency of wherever it is run, which is euros at most of the calendar, sterling at the British shows and Swiss francs at Geneva. Pius Schwizer has won 4 of these outright.

Frequently asked questions

How much prize money has Pius Schwizer won?

£67,015 across 8 paid rounds between 2018 and 2022, which ranks 58 of the 3,331 riders show jumping has paid.

Does Pius Schwizer keep that money?

Not all of it, and often not most of it. A money prize in equestrian sport is awarded to the owner of the horse rather than to the rider, and the rider is paid a share of it under a private agreement, usually alongside a monthly fee for keeping the horse in work. A rider who owns the horse keeps the whole cheque.

What is Pius Schwizer's biggest prize?

£31,731 for winning the Coupe de Genève at CHI Geneva in 2018.

Which horse has won Pius Schwizer the most?

About A Dream, £38,568 across 2 paid rounds, which is 57.6% of everything Pius Schwizer has won.

Does Pius Schwizer have a salary?

No. Show jumping pays no wage at any level: there is no contract with a federation, no appearance money at most shows and no retainer. The money on this page is the whole of what the sport paid, and it was paid one round at a time.
